@jobvd Sony hasn't been great since the PS3 era, aside from Spiderman which is on PC and the odd Ratchet game also PC.. oh and astro bot nice pack in/starter game but...so was Wii Sports and that got more games in that series they got nothing really to offer, other a over priced limited PC console sure graphics are good for now but with the lack of exclusive games if you really want the best graphics and game range your just get a actual gaming PC man I miss stuff like the PSP and PS Vita still use mine they were great handhelds that were Also region free.
@N00BiSH I mean it's Super Mario, a series not exactly well known for storytelling barring RPG spin offs, while Galaxy 1 has the storybook it's in the background and is just like the old back stories you would get in game manuals you could beat the game and totally skip it I mean none of the games even have full spoken dialogue, despite hiring new voice actors to do same sounds, was playing Sunshine it honestly surprised me to see Peach and Bowser Jr speak full sentences not just "Mario!!" "OH" "hahaha!" This ain't no Ghostbusters in terms of writing, something a bit closer to Popeye movie. Still wish we got that instead of the emoji movie, such a waste
@X68000 I dunno Odessey was pretty amazing when it came out in 2017, and after playing Bowser's Fury a open world Mario game could be amazing! Tho even something like Galaxy 3 would be good too, aside from Sunshine*which is flawed but has it's moments* every 3D Mario game has been amazing.
@NintendoWife Remember Donkey Kong was only created to fill in the role of Bluto, while Mario was created cus they couldn't use Popeye, plus if it wasn't for Super Mario Bros Nintendo wouldn't be as huge as it is now, that and Zelda ofc.
Really reminds how Sony kept making and selling PSones even getting some game support for it for a few years after the PS2 came out Same with the PS2 co existing with the PS3 for a few years, even the GBA SP lasted another 6 years in production and also got game support for a few more years after the DS came out, the GBA and PSone serve as great budget value consoles considering how expensive Switch 2 and especially PS5 is it's great Switch 1 is still going, I still love using my golden Zelda Switch Lite more then any other console.
@raymond23 Nah Banana sucked, they could of done so much more with it, at least Mario Kart World shows off what the Switch 2 can do and unlike passed Mario Kart games tried something different.
@rjejr Here's a idea.. don't buy it, I honestly didn't think it looked that good would rather play any Rare's 64 Donkey Kong games instead there's no reason why they can't add it along with Diddly Kong racing, we have Goldeneye, Banjo, and Perfect Dark but not the ones with Nintendo's own characters?
@HingryHuppo Think it only got the tag line "Super Mario World 2" just to help it sell in the west since in Japan it's just called Yoshi's Island 🏝️ it's own series much like Donkey Kong is outside the arcade games, DK 94 and the MvsDK games.
@RasandeRose might actually shift some xboxs if they made use of the IPS they own, don't own Banjo? And Crash? If they finished Crash 5 instead of cancelling it, they could rival Mario like Sony did in the 90s
@Haruki_NLI it might come later like Indiana Jones, tho it might be better if they just port master chief collection instead since that already has a remastered Halo 1 and 2.
@Alcea I hope so cus it would be brilliant to play DS multiplayer again tho there adding Virtual Boy to NSO which none of the games had any multiplayer support due to no official link cable outside wanting people to rent the games I think it should of been a collection you could buy bundle it with the headset ya need since there's not a lot of games for the VB anyway.
@Ultimapunch You can only rent it sadly, they should of ported the 3ds version to Switch, they already did it Donkey Kong Country returns first 3DS remaster then remastered it again for Switch even I do prefer the style of the GameCube original it's more scary.
@DjinnFighter I guess you didn't play Sonic Forces, Sonic Runners the mobile games which did add the comic characters tangle and whisper, where the hell you been for the past 20 years?
@Kamen-S especially seeing the reaction of Shadow racing against her lol be like seeing a ghost 👻 then again again Sonic Adventure 2 brought back Tikal and Chaos who were meant be dead after SA1.
I guess the ds emulation isn't ready yet but they should of shown this then the virtual boy, considering the Wii U had it and the Virtual Boy emu won't be out till next year with that headset ya need to even play it, there's a lot of great games on DS....wonder if it's taking longer due to figuring out how to add DS multiplayer to Switch? Cus that was the only issue with Wii U's DS VC
NA, shame this didn't come out in Europe or have a better version made using a modern microphone, think the OG was meant to have a port of this before it became Pokémon Dash..
@Jayenkai Nah good gameplay isn't Sonic Team's thing, not since Sonic Adventure and Heroes, they just shove as many characters as they can, string it up with a story and sell it.
@Kobra Basically seems most don't like Mario Kart World cus they don't like change and don't like high price tags, latter I get but new games are expensive especially for next gen, saw a Forza game from 2023 asking for £66 still tho Mario Kart World is £59.99 in Smyth's atm just take advantage of sales, as for CrossWorlds to me it just feels like Transform racing again but without the all star Sega cast just a few and SpongeBob tho Megaman and Pacman are cool shame there dlc..£ hasn't changed much at all from the 360/Wii U game, I think MKW like MK8 will get better in time, I love the Wii U still got two but the original MK8 is hard to return to, the Switch Deluxe version with all its updates made it the definitive version for me, hopefully it won't take as long to build on MKW with updates but at the same time I love Nintendo did something new with World, if I want classic Mario Kart then 8 Deluxe is still there. And a reason to keep using my Switch Lite.
@LinktotheFuture Best wait for a sale, don't why there's a switch 2 version of this when even the PS1 had a port of it in Namco Museum vol 2 "Japan version*
@charliecarrot Zelda oddly gets a free pass, Breath of the Wild for Switch 2 is £66.99 despite being a port of a launch Switch 1 game that's a port of a Wii U game, 7 years in and it's still high price...at least both Galaxy games are £49.99.
@Serpenterror When Switch 2 actually gets Mario Sunshine...still don't get the hold up on that, they should really reissue 3D All Stars despite being rushed it's a solid way to play Mario's 3D adventure minus Galaxy 2 and 3D Land conveniently, I mean Super Mario All Stars for his 25th got a reissue near the end of the Wii's life
@rjejr But the Switch 2 "version" is free, if you have the Switch 1 version it works on both, just better resolution for Switch 2 ofc, tbh I really like they didn't skip Switch 1 like they did with GameCube when 3D All Stars runs Sunshine in wide screen with no issue nearly 100% Galaxy 1 on my Switch lite I can't wait to dive into Galaxy 2.
Can't wait to get both physical on cartridge for £49.99 I still can't get over how well made Galaxy was for the Wii how well it's aged, just hope Nintendo make Galaxy 3 or something as grand for Mario's next 3D adventure.
@the_beaver Seems like there rushing this again, didn't this run badly on the Wii U and the "remaster" Switch 1 got? It doesn't even look that graphically demanding.
@Kingy But the Bob Hopkins movie had hardly anything to do with Super Mario or any of the games, just some names and some references, you might as well watch Bladerunner or Twins, there's reason why that flopped and Bob said it was the worst movie he worked on, while this was a success again whilst it might not be Toy Story in terms of story telling tho the character development for Mario and co was great nor was any of the games it was about a fun colourful world full of action, it was watching a Mario game that's what a Mario Movie should be. The bit when Peach is training Mario with him getting further and better after each failed attempt is just like playing the actual games, overcoming a hard level.
@N00BiSH I mean the Mario games ain't known for having stories with substance really... Galaxy could of but most of its storytelling is in the background, same with Obyseey the only Mario game that tries with story is Sunshine even then it feels like a simple cartoon plot like Mario Super Show had, while the movie wasn't perfect I think it offered more of a story then any of the games from the last 40 years of Mario, the only issue I think it had it was trying to fit so much in and a lot got cut like Luigi's part in the movie either way it at least feels like a Mario Movie unlike the 1993 one and was a fun time which is what a good film should be.
@Anti-Matter I'm gonna get it for Switch 1 since it's physically on the cartridge I'm not bothered by the 30fps but if I really want 60fps I can always get it on Switch 2 but I'm glad the Switch1 is getting more games still, I love my Golden**Switch**Lite
@X68000 Would be nice if Nintendo expanded and open other museums around the world or better yet make a virtual one kinda like the old namco museums on PS1 the ones that had 3D museums to explore
@Untempered-Link A lot of people love to complain, think most actually wanted Nintendo to make another Wii U flop and hate the fact the Switch 2 is selling well and try to shift all their money issues onto Nintendo, again people asked for Galaxy to make a return especially 2 now we got it most people are complaining about it, even tho this isn't the first time there's been a overpriced remaster from Nintendo or Sony but for most people especially new games this will be a great way to experience two of the best games ever made.
